Great accommodation. Perfect for meeting new people. Great for social life. The gym facilities are ideal only a short walk from each flat. On suite bathrooms. Rooms are a decent size and the kitchen living room area are great.

Amazing halls to live at, if you're going SHU definitely choose the Forge! I had a large room and it was really nice, cus the desk was huge which came in handy and the bed was a 3/4 but it felt like a double anyway. It's prime location , cus it's not far from town and it's directly in between city and collegiate campus, and the good thing about it is all the blocks face onto a big grassy courtyard. So when it's hot we all had bbq's down there and played with a ball and stuff. The reception were good and pretty handy and as well it's really easy to get to know people in your block.

The location was amazing for both university and nights out! Felt safe living there and no problem was ever too big. I requested a new mattress as mine was uncomfortable and I got a new one in a couple of days

Location is in between both universities. The flats have cleaners every week. Friendly environment where you can go out with all your neighbours. Cosy bedrooms.

The Forge is a great place to start the uni experience, the flat I was placed in was a flat of 5 which I think was the perfect amount of people to live with for the first time (I know some halls have 8-10), the location was good and I felt safe

The most social place to go and ideal for first years! It does get rowdy at times but that’s part of the fun if you’re into going out!

Amazing halls to get involved in having the best university experience! Party central, and I`m gutted that I`ll be moving on, however, I`ve made friends for life who will move on with me :) !

Such a good location for freshers coming to a city for the first time! Near to town and not far from uni. The accommodation is well kept and being surrounded by so many other students is such a great experience, there is always something going on and it's a great place to meet new friends.

Great location, perfect distance from both campuses - 15 min walk tops! 10 min walk from the shops! Good common room, laundry room on site, reception staff are v attentive and happy to help, same with security! Flats are groups of 5 usually, mixed or single gender depending on preference, great experience

Great location, directly between both campuses with a 10 minute walk to either. Pretty much directly at the foot of the moor shopping street that leads up to the main high street, and a walk away from the clubs/bars. Great sized rooms and kitchen with a good common room downstairs

The forge is a great city centre location. 10 minutes from universities. Close to all necessary amenities, and it has ALDI 30 seconds away. Perfect for socialising and flat parties, very easy to get to know your neighbours. My room was lovely, great sized bed for when friends stay, en suite which is perfect so you don’t need to share, modern and clean. The gym was great however for the price of the halls it would be good if it was included for free instead of a member price. Same with the washing, it is very expensive however the tracking system is excellent. Overall I loved my time at the forge and will definitely recommend it.

The accommodation is very social. We are also lucky enough to have a cleaner who literally does a really good job. They even clean the inside of the oven every two weeks. Maintenance are always on hand when need be and I’m constantly getting emails about work which is going on which means that they are trying to improve the facilities all the time. The only thing is that the internet can be a bit poor a few times a month but majority of the time it is really fast.

Great location- brilliant access to Aldi, Ecclesall Road, Clubs, The Moor etc. Friendly staff who occasionally arrange free food events in the common room! A great place to meet people, make friends and live your first year as a student. Rooms have everything you could need and any problems are fixed promptly. Rather expensive though..

Easily the best 1st year acom in Sheffield. Had such a sick time here and I feel genuinely gutted for people who didn't spend their first year here. If you're a party person then The Forge is for you

Sick parties shame they get shut down a lot by security. Location is amazing and most people who live here are sound as fuck.

Great facilities with hundred of people to meet, drink and go out with. Staff are really kind and friendly, with lots of easy methods to contact and sort issues or awnser inquires. The accommodation is very safe and secure with the need of a thob to get in and out. Right next to Aldi too which is great for saving money.
